Jack Johnson Concert

So I did something completely out of character for me...I was spontaneous. Monday I realized Jack Johnson was in town for a concert. Normally I would've been bummed and figured it was too late to do anything about it. But this time instead I took action. It was probably after 2pm that I realized that he was here and so I hopped on the internet, made a few phone calls to make sure the concert wasn't sold out, found a babysitter (thank you so much Allie for helping me out, especially so last minute!!). I called my other "not so spontaneous" friend Natalie to commit to go with me (this is something so totally out of character for both of us). We showed up to the concert with no tickets. This may not seem like a big deal to most but for me it's HUGE. For me spontaneous doesn't happen unless I plan for it. So another milestone in my life has been reached and hopefully this experience will open my eyes to many other doors/windows of opportunity for change & growth...after this just about anything is possible! I am breaking barriers all over the place. The concert was totally fun and Jack Johnson was fantastic!!

In case you are wondering the butt shot was "my view" for a good chunk of the concert. Which was fine because we were so far away from the stage it really could've been anyone up there lip synching Jack Johnson's music. We were at the USANA amphitheater. We had a blanket on the lawn and just sat and listened to his music. It was a great night for an outdoor concert.

Go ,Go, Power Ranger!!

Ok, so Jonah LOVES the Power Rangers, especially the Red Power Ranger. So when we found out that "Rocky" one of the red power rangers was going to be at South Jordan Rec. Center teaching karate we were all over that!! We knew that this would be a dream come true for Jonah. And let me tell you it certainly was. He was so happy when he found out he could hardly wait. When he got home from it he was beaming!! He went around showing everyone his autographed picture of Rocky in his power ranger suit. To quote Jonah from about a year ago he said, " I wish there were power rangers in this town." Well, that Saturday there was. The only thing that could probably top this is finding out that Super Man was real.

Happy Birthday Corinne

This is my friend Corinne (the one who convinced me to run the Provo 1/2 Marathon with her and then ended up not running it!! =). This is she and I on her birthday taking at least 20 pictures trying to find one that didn't have a problem. Well...we couldn't find one, so these are the one's that I picked. She got this princess birthday cake...because the friend that gave it to her is a princess! I mean because she is a princess. I really think this may be my new favorite gift to give all of my friends on their birthdays. I found the cake at Target. I have never seen cakes like that before so hopefully they keep making them. I never found out if the cake tasted any good, but it was at least really cute.

We Did It!!!... (Provo Half Marathon)

Watch out Boston here we come!!!

Saturday, August 9th was the half marathon and I did it!!! I have to say I'm very proud of myself, and my cute friend Lisa who did the race with me. (Thank you Lisa! you are awesome!!) The race was a really great experience and I am so excited to do more of them. It did make me realize that I am okay to wait a little bit longer on running a full marathon. I will shoot for next year.
It was so fun to see Adam, Jonah, and Chase towards the finish line cheering me on. This really was truly a great experience mentally, physically, and spiritually. It made me realize how closely connected those things really are. That race helped me to see where I am at...and lets just say I have some room for improvement =) But I am excited to do it!
